On 10/12/2020 I got the response to my paid email that the decision is made, the visa centre will contact us for passport collection. Today is the 11th day from the email and I haven’t heard anything back. Any suggestions or advice?

It's a generic email, many get it. Nothing you can do to find out "details".

I would (and did) complain. The same test should apply to their performance in Covid-induced conditions as in our employment under the identical conditions. This is the form to use: https://www.gov.uk/complain-uk-visas-immigration

[mandrack111]

thanks for the reply
will use the form

Dear xxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application has been received and is under consideration.

Unfortunately your application has not been straightforward and it will therefore take longer to process, we are unable to provide a time scale as to when individual applications will be concluded. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible. We will write to you again if there is any change to this.

Please do not attend the Visa Application Centre until you have been advised that your application has been decided and that your passport is ready for collection.


Kind Regards,

UK Decision Making Centre

Hi
can someone explain whom to contact/call or to send a chaser email to speed up procedure after "not straightforward letter"?
thanks in advance

Hi all.. we are in the same boat as alot of people. Done biometrics and 6 days later recieved the not straight forward email .. just wondering from others experience would a refusal come before this not straight forward email or indeed does the refusal come pretty quickly and if it continues for longer period of time is this a good thing. Just wondering what experience people had . It's so stressful
